Question Xenon's vs Silverstars...

I was just wondering, what is better, Xenon's or SilverStars. The reason I ask is because I see a lot of people mention that their Xenon's burn out really fast, and on the other hand the same can be said for the Silverstars, so I was just wondering what people's opinions on this was. I want something that is brighter than the stock Halogen's, but also something that won't burn out after a month. Also, what type of bulbs do the headlights and foglights require in the 2004 Acura EL? Sorry for all of these questions

Fern is an unknown quantity at this point
i personally think that silverstars are much better, but thats just my own opinion. and for the bulb size, i dunno, it must say it in the manual, or look for bulb charts online.

Silverstars are just a clear bulb with a lite blue/purple coating on them, just like every other ricer bulb... Xenon is the gas that is inside of REAL HID's

Well I don't know about that, them being "ricer" bulbs. I thought they're actually made well, and are meant to meet or exceed OEM bulbs. Also, don't Xenon's burn out really quickly compared to halogen's?
